[lbo-talk] lbo, a den of right-wingers?

[Charles Brown]

Creativity and thuggishness are not "contradictories" , are they ?
The fascists were in the "great" tradition of Alexander. Capitalism is
essentially creative thuggishness, creative destruction. Hitler was an
artist. Reagan was an artist.

andie nachgeborenen: 
Unfortunately for the creative fascists, the thug ones
stole the name. Many people think the same thing
happened with the Communists.

There were a handful of genuine fascists (Nazi
variety) of the thug variety, the mentioned Ernst
Junger aside (well worth reading!), who were really
creative by the highest standard. Heidegger. Carl
Schmitt. Leni Riefenstahl, unless you believe her
Sergeant Schulz story. (That she wasn't an ideologue.)
Then there was Celine, but I don't know whether he was
a real fascist or just a total misanthrope. He doesn't
seem to have hated the Jews especially, at least not
more than he hated everyone else.
